PROGRAMMING THE KB1700 KEYPAD

The following procedure will show you how to program your KB1700

with standard (keyboard) alphanumeric characters. The keypad can be

programmed with either ASCII or Scan code information. The default

mode is the ASCII code mode. The following procedure assumes both

a KB1700 keypad and a 101 keyboard are attached.

NOTE:

To run this program you must exit windows completely.

Do not shell out from Windows.

1. With the correct programming graphics present. Select the cell

you want to program by using the arrow keys on the 101 keyboard.

The Up and Down arrows will select the row while the Shift and

either the Right or Left arrow key will select the column.

2. Enter your programming text via the 101 keyboard. Continue

programming until all the keys are programmed. It is not necessary

to program all the keys for the KB1700 to function properly. The

maximum number of alphanumeric characters that can be

programmed for any one key is only limited by total memory left.

NOTE:

The maximum number of alphanumeric characters that

can be programmed per standard keypad is 1856.

3. Press F2 to call up the Data Transfer Menu. There will be

several choices to choose from.

4. Type W to write the programmed data into the KB1700’s non

volatile memory. A “Writing Data” screen will open showing the

percentage of memory written. It will take approximately 7 seconds

a .TPL extension.

6. Press ESC to terminate the Data Transfer Menu.

7. Press F10 followed by Y to exit the utility program.

8. To verify that your program has been successfully installed,

simply press any programmed key. The information stored in

that key will appear on the monitor.

9. The next time you want to install the legend you just created

simple press F2 to call up the Data Transfer Menu and then

press L to open the Load window.

10. Enter the name of the file in the legend window with its proper

extension (.TPL) and press ENTER. The legend will now show

on your monitor.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

The KB1700 POS keypad can be programmed with all special control and

function keys such as the Shift, Ctrl, Alt, F1 through F12, and the up/down/

left/right arrow keys. The procedure to program these special keys is shown

below:

1. Start the KB17 utility program.

2. Select the cell to be programmed. Press F8 to enter the scan-

code mode. The “code type” information changes from ASCII to

SCAN.

NOTE:

The scan-code mode will only be active for this cell. You must

select F8 for each cell you want to program with scan-code

information.

3. Under the scan-code mode, each alphanumeric character is

enclosed in parenthesis. For special function or control keys, press

ESC (three vertical bars will be present) followed by the special

function or control key you want to program.

For example, to program the INS (insert) key, press ESC and

then the INS key on the 101 keyboard. To program the ESC key,

simply press the ESC key twice. Special function and control

keys will not appear inside parenthesis. The three vertical bars

will disappear once the special function key is depressed.

4. You may return to the start-up graphic screen (short menu) by

pressing Ctrl-Alt-F4 again.

NOTES:

1) Special function keys require ESC as the leading code. In the scan-code mode, you

can view the symbol of the special key or the hex code equivalent of the special key. To

view, simply press F7 to toggle between symbol and hex modes.

2) Once a special function key (shift, ctrl, alt, etc.) is programmed it may be necessary to

un-select the function. To do so, press in sequence ESC, f (lower case F), 0 (zero),

3) Any given programmable location may be toggled between scan-code mode and ASCII-

code mode. Pressing the F8 key on the keyboard will change the cell’s programming

mode to scan-code mode. Pressing F9 on the keyboard will change the cell’s

programming mode to ASCII-code mode. Changing modes in a cell that has been

previously programmed will erase all the information in that cell.

4) To enter hex scan-codes directly, press ESC followed by the 2-digit hex number. For

example, to program the CTRL key press ESC followed by 1D. The KB17 program

will add the leading zero

ESC, followed by the special function key (shift, ctrl alt, etc.)

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE KB1700

Besides being able to program all the keys of an IBM101 keyboard, the

KB1700 has also incorporated three state-of-the-art features which will add

flexibility and functionality to the keypad.

INTER-STRING DELAY

This feature allows for a time delay(s) to be installed after a character(s)

has been inserted into a cell. To use this feature follow the steps below:

1. Enter the character(s) which will precede the delay. For

example, ABC.

2. Depress and hold the ALT key while pressing the letter D. A time

delay screen will open asking for the amount of delay you require

(up to 240 seconds). Select the appropriate delay and press

ENTER. A square pixel will appear on the programming line

immediately following the last character typed.

3. Type the next character(s), DEF. You can use more than one

delay per cell and each delay time can be different.

4. Save the template and then write the template to the keypad.

5. Exit the KB17 program by pressing F10 followed by the letter Y.

6. Press the location key where the time delay character has been

stored. The monitor will display ABC immediately. After the delay

time you entered for this key has expired, DEF will be displayed on

the monitor and the cursor will be present at the prompt.

MULTI-LEVEL DEFINITION

This feature can increase the apparent number of programmable

keys by allowing you to program different levels into any cell. For every

different level you program you must select another key to be a “SHIFT

LEVEL” key. Programming is accomplished in the normal manner. After

programming the base level a separator bar must be entered to separate

the base level from the second level. You can program more than

two levels per cell. For example, if you needed to program small coffee,

medium coffee, and large coffee into one cell follow the procedure

outlined below:

1. Select a blank cell and enter the most common coffee first

(medium coffee). Mark the legend sheet for this cell COFFEE.

2. Enter the separator bar by depressing and holding the ALT key

and pressing the letter S. A solid line will appear on the

programming line immediately following the last character typed.

3. Enter the second level (small coffee) followed by another

separator.

4. Enter the third level of information (large coffee). The entire

programming line should look like the following:

5. Select a blank location to become the first level shift

position. Mark the legend sheet for this location SMALL.

6. Change the programming mode of this cell to scan-code mode

(F8). Depress and hold the ALT key while pressing the letter A.

A triangle inside brackets (< >) will appear on the programming

line. This key when depressed and held will activate all keys that

have a second level.

7. Select another blank location . This will become the second

level shift position (will activate the third level of information). Mark

the legend sheet for this position LARGE.

MEDIUM COFFEE SMALL COFFEE LARGE COFFEE

K01

8. Change the programming mode of this cell to the scan-code mode

(F8). Depress and hold the ALT key while depressing the letter A

twice. Two triangles inside brackets will appear on the programming

line.

9. To use this feature in your application is extremely simple. When

medium coffee is desired just press the K01 key (the first level of

information stored in cell K01 will be sent to the computer). When

a small coffee is desired press and hold the K02 key while pressing

the K01 key (the second level of information stored in cell K01 will

be sent to the computer). When a large coffee is desired press

and hold the K03 key while pressing the K01 key (the third level of

information stored in cell K01 will be sent to the computer)

NOTE:

There is no preset limit to the number of levels that can be

programmed into a keypad.

SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS

The KB1700 can be set up with many different programming options. To

activate the configuration menu screen the KB17 program must first be placed

into the extended menu (Ctrl, Alt, F4). Press F3 to open the configuration

screen. By depressing the highlighted letter in each option the program will

enable or disable that option. The default settings are shown in the graphic
